Hanscom Federal Credit Union Expands Membership Access Through Partnership with Blue Star Families

HFCU Charitable Foundation Makes $25,000 Donation to “Blue Star Welcome Week”
 
BOSTON, MA (Sept. 3, 2025) — Hanscom Federal Credit Union (HFCU) is proud to announce a new partnership with Blue Star Families – New England Chapter, a milestone that reflects the credit union’s continued commitment to serving the military community. With this addition to its field of membership, which was approved by both the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and HFCU’s Board of Directors, more individuals connected to military service will now have expanded access to HFCU’s trusted financial products, services, and coaching.
“This partnership with Blue Star Families strengthens our bond with the military community and reinforces our commitment to being a trusted financial partner,” said Peter Rice, HFCU President & CEO. “It’s an honor to extend membership to individuals who support our nation through service and sacrifice.”
In celebration of “Blue Star Welcome Week,” the HFCU Charitable Foundation made a $25,000 to the cause, which supports the move and transition for an estimated 600,000 military families every year.  
Blue Star Families of New England is the premier organization serving military families of all types, branches, and backgrounds. By prioritizing the unique needs of these communities, the organization helps families thrive through career support, financial education, caregiver resources, and a powerful sense of belonging.
“It is incredibly important for mission-based organizations like ours to partner with trusted institutions and companies that share our passion,” said Lt. Commander Jeffrey Chin, Executive Director of Blue Star Families of New England and U.S. Navy Reserve Officer. “It is clear that Hanscom Federal Credit Union, through this partnership and their continued unwavering support of our military, is one of the premier partners in existence today that truly cares about its members and members of our military-connected community. We are so grateful for this dynamic partnership that will undoubtedly support local military members and their families long term.”
The New England Chapter of Blue Star Families spans key regions including Greater Boston, Hanscom Air Force Base, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Members will now be able to join Hanscom Federal Credit Union through their affiliation with this vital organization, gaining access to competitive loan and savings products, personalized financial coaching, and innovative tools like HFCU’s new WealthTrek financial wellness experience centers. 
This development is another example of how Hanscom Federal Credit Union continues to expand access to its services while remaining deeply connected to its founding values: trust, community, and service.
